Back to a non-smartphone?

[Chuchichan]

I've been debating for some time returning to a "regular" phone and maybe getting an iPad (wifi). I've been using the iPhone for two years and my contract is up. I do make use of the iPhone, but I'm thinking that maybe I'd be less distracted and not feel obligated to check Facebook every hour if I was a bit less connected.

The only thing I could see missing would be access to email during the day. I suppose at times it is convenient to be able to reply to someone's mail quickly (especially because I'm looking for a job now). But, other than that, I could live without an iPhone I suppose.

What do you all think? Anyone else feel this way or can think of other pros of the iPhone that I will miss but am overlooking?

Thanks!

Its your choice if you want to disconnect yourself from some habits.
Personally I wouldnt. I like having my data access everywhere and the tons of things I can do with my iphone that I couldnt do 6 years go with regural cellphones.

There's got to be an easier, less drastic way to curb your Facebooking habits.

Yeah. You're all right. I will miss having access to my email too much. It's not really a habit with Facebook that I have, but rather I feel like I need to check. It's only perhaps 2 minutes per day, but that's two minutes I could be doing something more productive.

Anyways, anyone else feel like this? Perhaps the best thing to do is just delete the app.

I deleted Facebook completely. I realized that it wasn't anything special and took to much of my time.

I tried deleting the app but it always made it back onto the phone within a few days of not having it.

Get a regular phone with iPad data.

There are feature phones that have email capabilities.
